THE "ROUND TABLE

On Friday evening last very inter-
esting meeting of the superintendent
Round Table" was. held III Wheeling. in
the office of Supt Anderson. The asso-
ciatiou was organized about year ago
at Bellaire, and consists Of the school
superintandants of this section of the
Ohio valley. Its object is the free and
informal discussion of the science OF
education. methods of instruction, and
the management of graded schools.
Among the topics discussed at the
last meeting were, Corporal Punish
ment." Institutes and Institute THstruc>
tors" statistical Reports" "rruancy,'
Oral and Written Spelling" A nun
Der of pedagogic maxims were also dis
cussed, which was one of the most in>
teresting features of the meeting.
1t is felt that these meetings cannot
but result In good to the schools; for
the free discussion of such topics, and
the free interchange OF opinions must
create an interest, an enthusiasm in the
work that cannot be attained by selfish
ly plodding along in ones own way.
The next meeting will be held at
Wellsburg, Friday evening, Nov. 4.
The following subjects have been sug-
gested for discussion at that time:. In

REPrRLIcAN MEETINGS.

Col Poorman addressed a very large
meeting at Flushing last Thursday eve'

who listened closeiy to the speaker and
were in thorough sympathy with his
address. Saturday evening Col. Poor
man spoke to a fair-sized audience st

Messrs. HOlliDgswsrth and Rees ad+
dressed a good audience at Maynard
Saturday evening.
a large audience assembled at Bel
mont Ridge Saturday evening, to hear
A. I. McKelvey and J. w. Nichols, and
on Monday evening the same speakers
had fine meeting at Sewellsville.
Gov. FoRALER had a fine meeting at
Barnesville Tuesday afternoon. The
weather drove the meeting indoors.
The large town hall was packed with
people. J. W. Hollings worth, Esq,
made fifteen minutes speech, full of
good things, and closed by introducing
the Governor to the audience. Gov.
Foraker made set speech. which was
well received.
A steady rain began falling in the eve
ming, but notwithstanding, one thousand
OF more people gathered around the
Sherman House. Bridgeport. Mayors
band kept the crowd in a good humor
until DR.. Todd appeared on the balcony
of the hotel and introduced the Covert

the question. After expressing regret
that the meeting had TO be abandoned,
he announced that be would go the side

Additional meetings are announced in

attention.

LIQUOR sellers pay into the treasury
of this county about $4,000 annually.
The Democratic organ of the county
sneers at this tax upon the saloons, and
If the people will permit it to have its
way will abolish it, under the pretense
of favoring license. That can only be
had by radical change of our Constitu-
tion, which is not practical, and all hon.
est men know and admit It.
The tax levied upon saloons By the
Dow law assists the people to that ex:
tent in defraying the expenses of local
government. Under the p-ot isions Of
that law scores of saloons have been
compelled TO close their doors and quit
the business. A repeal or modification
Of that law is In the interest of free
whisky and increased taxation. Repub-
licans can be depended upon to maiu>
tain and uphold that law. If given
power. there is great danger the Demo-
Gratis will repeal or cripple it 80 that it
will be ineffectiye-the taxes paid by
them will be lost and all men who can
raise enough money to buy barrel of
baer will be left free to 60 into the
business.

Consu,uDtien Durable.

1t cannot be too often impressed on
every one that the much dreaded con
sumption (Which Is only lung scrofula),
is durable, if attended to at once, and
that the primary symptoms, go often
mistaken as signs Gf diseased lungs, are
only symptoms of al unhealthy liver
To this organ the system is indebted for
pure blood, and to pure blood the lungs
are indebted no less than to pure air for
healthy action. If the former is pol.
luted. we have the hacking cnugh. tue
hectic flush, higl;-s weats, and whole
train of symptoms resembling consump-
tion. Rouse the liver to healthy action
by the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medic
al Discovery, take healthy exercise, live
in the open air. and all symptoms of
consumption will disappear. For weak
lungs. splitting of flood, shortness of
breath. chronic nasal ca.drrh. bronchitis,
asthma, severe coughs. and kindred at
fections, 1t is most wonderful remedy.

The alleged Democratic strikers are
trying to make great bugaboo about
recommendations of a special message
of Governor Foraker sent to the l.egis
lature in April, 1886.
The Governor. appreeiating the great
inequalities of taxation based upon a
valuation of seven years ago-a valuae
tion which all observing men know was
indifferently made, and which is work.
ing great injustice-recommended that
the Legislature take steps to provide
for reappraisement of the real proper
ty of the state, and to secure mere ade
quate returns of personal property.
There was no intimstion that taxes upon
lands should be increased, in fact the
message WAS favorably received by the
newspaper press of the state, of both
parties. and If its recommendation had
been carried out the result would have
been a reduction of the burthens of
government.
Now the state is being flooded With
all manner of falsehoods and forgeries,
in hopes that farmers may be arraved
against the Governor. We repeat: The
Cincinnati Enquirer, Cleveland Plain
Dealer, Mt. Vernon Banner. Columbu
Times, and other Democratic papers of
the state spoke in unqualified terms of
praise of the recommendations of the
message when it was issued; and tie
use the Democrats are seeking to make
of it now illustrates hestraits to which
the leaders are driyer.

writing we presume that her condition is more
favorable. Mrs. Hays is lady in every sense,
